The Walt Disney World Resort has announced the special merchandise events for the month of July and they include two different fragrance events in Epcot, several artist showcases, and even a chance to learn more about the newest Precious Moments doll collection.

A brand new line of merchandise "designed for the discerning gentleman" who just happens to also love Disney is headed to the Disney Parks later this year. The Twenty Eight & Main line will include items that feature lightweight embroidery, patches, and appliques giving them a classic vibe.

Spring has sprung at the Walt Disney World Resort and to celebrate there's a brand new slate of special merchandise events planned for April. The events include artist meet-and-greets, new Disney pins, a Trading Night, and special Earth Day events at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

If you're headed to Walt Disney World Resort this month there are so many special merchandise events taking place that there's bound to be something for everyone. From popular artists to Major League Baseball legends to Precious Moments dolls, it's a month full of great events.

The Disney Parks Collection by Vera Bradley recently debuted a new line of handbags that feature a solid color design instead of the bright floral and paisley creations that have been available so far. These new bags are currently available at the Disney Parks with another new design arriving later this year.

The Marketplace Co-Op in Downtown Disney is making some changes to its retail lineup. Gone is the Beautifully Disney location and in its place is the WonderGround Gallery which sells the same artwork that is featured at the Disneyland location. Until now the WondeGround Gallery was only represented by a small fixture space at the Marketplace.

If you're headed to Walt Disney World for the 2015 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend either to run or cheer for friends and family there's a new line of merchandise for the race and Disney recently gave guests a sneak preview. The merchandise includes apparel, pins, MagicBands, and the always popular Disney Dooney & Bourke handbags.

We've been talking about the Marketplace Co-Op that's part of the Disney Springs expansion for quite awhile now, and I'm happy to announce that it's final open! Located right next to Tren-D, the Marketplace Co-Op will offer six different boutiques where guests can find a variety of unique, authentic and original merchandise developed to reflect the signature style of Disney Parks.

As the transformation of Downtown Disney into Disney Springs continues, we have more information on the changes.

The old Pleasure Island will be replaced by The Landing in 2015, and will be the home to several nationally-known restaurants. The former Pleasure Island parking area will become The Town Center and will included shopping and more dining locations.

Savvy shoppers can add another location to their Downtown Disney Marketplace shopping list. The Marketplace Co Op is set to take over the current location of Team Mickey next to TrenD next spring.

The Marketplace Co Op will "serve as a laboratory to showcase new concepts and specialty products" according to Tom Sheldon, manager of retail design and development for Disney Theme Park Merchandise. He also said the new store was an "incubator to introduce new Disney retails shops and products."
